RETURNING TO READ: CJ Wilson, a Belhaven native, 2005 Northside High School graduate, former East Carolina University football player and current NFL player, will be returning to his childhood library, Belhaven Public Library, to join young readers during story time on Friday at 10 a.m. at the Charlie Smith Community Center, 914 E. Main St., Belhaven. Branch Manager Joan Bogun will be presenting a sports-related reading program for the day, which Wilson will be incorporated into. Bogun said, “C.J. and his entire family grew up in the Belhaven Public Library. His mom always made sure her children were reading and staying focused on the important things in life. I am excited that C.J. is willing to take time out of his busy schedule and be a part of the Belhaven Public Library’s summer reading program. The children and adults in our small community enjoy seeing C.J. when he is able to be home for short visits.”
